Tottenham Hotspur have been heavily linked with the move for the Crystal Palace attacker Eberechi Eze this summer.
According to Football Insider, Crystal Palace have now decided they will not budge on the asking price for the player, and Tottenham will have to pay £68 million in order to get the deal done. The 26-year-old has been exceptional for the Eagles, and he helped them win the FA Cup last season.
Eberechi Eze would improve Spurs
The attacking midfielder scored 14 goals in all competitions and picked up 11 assists. There is no doubt that he would be an excellent addition for Tottenham, and he could help them improve going forward. He will add more technical ability, flair, and unpredictability to their attacking unit.
However, Tottenham will now be forced to pay a substantial amount of money for the player, and it remains to be seen what they decide. They need to improve multiple areas of their squad, and they will not want to overpay for a player.
They had a disappointing Premier League campaign last season, and Tottenham will need to bounce back strongly. They need top-quality players like Eze.
